    While there is certainly a catch, it’s not too good to be true. If you don’t mind sounding a longer contract and you need one of those plans anyway, it’s a pretty great deal. And they still offer pretty good discounts even if you don’t go with one of those crazy plans.

      No one needs those plans at what they cost. Source: traded in an iPhone 7 with a non-functioning home button and a replacement display I got on eBay for an iPhone 16 Pro, and paid for one of these plans from Verizon. They don’t give two shits about the trade-in. They want to get you to commit to getting financially ass-fucked by these plan costs for 3 years, and come away thinking you got some amazing deal, and thanking them for the fucking.
